I’ll just say it. Everything is better with a digital picture frame. If someone put a digital picture frame in a toaster, I would buy three. So with that in mind, imagine my excitement when I saw this Insignia alarm clock with built-in digital picture frame. I know, right? Awesome. </sarcasm> → Read More

The $299 Internet-Connected GPS from Best Buy’s “Insignia” house brand features a cool built-in cellular connection, allowing you to harness the power of Google to find stores, restaurants, cheap gas, and more while on the go. However, the lackluster UI and relatively high price tag hold back an otherwise awesome combination of GPS and data services. → Read More

Geeks.com is selling the refurbished 4GB Insignia Sport in red, black, and blue for $39.99 when you use code NS4V at checkout. The Sport is a fairly straightforward portable media device that plays music and videos and displays photos, but it’s also got an added feature that you won’t find on most other devices of its kind: Bluetooth. So if you’ve got some Bluetooth headphones, the Sport might make for some inexpensive wireless audio goodness. Other features include OGG support, 1.7-inch color screen, FM-tuner, and memory expansion via microSD cards. The promo code (NS4V) is good until the end of November.

Insignia, Best Buy’s house brand, is launching two GPS units that come with cellular connectivity built-in – somewhat like the Dash GPS. The notable difference is that these two GPS units use Google Local search instead Yahoo Local search. We won’t ruin this dudes entire post but let’s just say, it sounds like a house brand product to us. Satellite lock was very slow on a rainy day; I got a couple of miles down the road before it locked. Local search result lists give the distance to the destination, but not the direction. Cellular reception with the Insignia has been spotty so far, though there seems to be some improvement following a firmware upgrade from 1.01 to 1.3. → Read More
Google search is finally making its way into GPS units with the latest from Insignia. The two units are going to boost built-in cell phone modems that will power the Google search and ‘cording to a Best Buy spokeswomen, there will be no fees for the first year. (Sounds like Dash) The Google access will allow owners to locate places with the power of Google and even forward route info from their PCs to the GPS units. The NS-CNV20 is going to sell for $499 and have a 4.3-inch touchscreen while the 3.5-inch NS-CNV10 will carry a $399 price. Interested? Both models should launch on October 19. → Read More
After somehow destroying my 20-inch LCD TV in a cross-country move, I needed to face down the task of replacing it. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money and I didn’t need a huge TV but I did want something a little bigger than 20 inches. This TV has been a great replacement. There’s a built-in HD tuner, two HDMI connections, two component inputs, two composite inputs, VGA connection, and an S-Video hookup. The picture is very nice, surprisingly nice for a sub-$400 TV. The regular price is $549 but it’s been on sale quite a bit since it’s a Best Buy brand — it’s been as low as $379, as referenced in an earlier CrunchDeal. If you’re looking for a great TV for a bedroom or den, this is an outstanding, inexpensive option. Insignia® – 26" 720p Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HDTV [BestBuy.com] → Read More

Insignia’s newest PMP is bursting at the screws with tons of features. The most notable is the addition of Bluetooth for compatibility with wireless headphones. If you like to watch video’s on your PMP then the 2.2-inch LCD should do the job quite nicely. If you’d rather listen to Opie and Anthony on the radio then I’m sure the 20 FM presets will suffice. The internal 4GB flash storage is nice and the microSD slot makes it even sweeter. Supported formats include WMA, MP3, PlaysForSure and if you actually buy music then the Best Buy Digital Music Store will have what you’re looking for. It’s a paltry 2.4 ounces and 0.6-inches thin. Pick one up for $159.99 at Best Buy. → Read More
